Designcraft

Inspired by the Golden Gate Bridge, the Sayl chair designed by Yves Behar, was briefed to design an affordable chair that would incorporate everything Herman Miller is known for - beautiful design, first class ergonomics, elegant engineering and respect for the environment.

Good design, healthy support and exceptional value are always attractive – and Sayl delivers all three. By using smart engineering to transform simple materials, we were able to make Sayl attainable for more people.

Sayl’s unframed 3D Intelligent back lets you stretch and move, striking a healthy balance between freedom and support. The elastomer strands of the suspension back vary in thickness and tension to provide greater support in the transition areas along the spine and less everywhere else to encourage a full range of seated movement.

Inspired by suspension bridges – structures that deliver the most using the least material – Yves Béhar applied the engineering principles of these amazing structures to create Sayl. The Eco-Dematerialised design of the work chair uses less material in more inventive ways to provide ergonomic support for people up to 159 kg.
